Description

Jacob

My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.

I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.

Brenna

My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again I’m bound by duty.

I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me. 

He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?

    It’s perfect for what it is! A fun, quick mafia romance. Just the right balance of dark and dreamy. Some explicitly spicy scenes but not a ton. Check it out!
  • Surprised!

    I’ve read many mafia romance type books lately but they’re always poorly done or edited, but this one far surpassed my expectations. Well done! Wonderful story
  • Great love story

    I liked the tastefully well written first consummation! I did not like how obvious the traitor was and easy it was to send the heroine running! Nice twist on traitors devised betrayal!

    This book caught my attention quick. While it was a love story as old as time, it was very sweet and had some good twists. I do wish that the resolution would have taken a little longer, but overall a good read.
  • Love me a good mafia romance

    Everything I would want in a mafia romance. I love the portrayal of fiery redheads. It doesn’t apply to all but short tempers are definitely a dominant trait.

    I loved this book, the plot, the characters and the author’s writing style. The story kept you on edge waiting for what was going to happen next I loved the interaction between the two main characters and how they finally fall in love. One of the best stories I have read in a good while.

    This book was so good. Usually suspense and mafia stories aren’t really my thing but I decided to give this one a chance and I’m so happy I did. From the beginning Jacob was so protective and caring about Brenna. Their story was fast paced and kept me entertained from the beginning till the end. The epilogue made it 10x better. It was so cute! Theses two were the perfect pair.
  • Good romance

    This book was a very good romance. The relationship was sweet. Not a lot of hot action though, just romantic.

  • The plot was very rushed in my opinion

    The problems had potential, but they were very compact and too easily resolved. Generally, the book was short. But that may just be below my standard for books. All in all, the plot was rushed, the problems weren’t as extended as I hoped for them to be, and also, a lot of words were repeated. It made it sound robotic. There were also a lot of words that I had to look up. You don’t have to add fancy words for the book to be good. It needs to be well understood. That’s just what I think.

    I’ve never been one to flock towards mafia stories, but I’m glad I read this one. Jacob is the perfect hidden hero and makes the mafia seem so sexy. It has just the right touch of spice as well.
